A debt consolidation company is reportedly behind the creation of a new boy band, called "ConSolid8".
ConSolid8 consists of 8 members, aged between 17 and 23, who have been hand-picked for the group in a 'Pop Idol' style auditioning process.
A spokesperson for the consolidation loan company, who is not prepared to be named at this stage, said: "The idea is to reach out to young people, who are becoming increasingly in need of debt help. We want to make them aware of the options out there, as it is no longer the case that most people are in their thirties before they get into financial problems and need to seek debt consolidation".
The band is due to be unveiled some time later this year.
